I've been reading since year one. I own every Joey Comeau book. I got to meet him and Emily at a book reading for Overqualified in SF when it dropped. Had long, meaningful conversations with that that I don't remember a word of now. If it weren't for having a friend with me that needed to go home, we were invited to go drink the night away with them on the roof of their hotel. I regret not doing that every day.

Joey signed my copy with a line from the book, though, and it's one of my most treasured possessions. I'm going to miss this comic, but they're still there. And Joey and Emily will keep making life worth living.

    Live for today, you retarded little shit. The end is near.

They'd be so fun to drink with. That's when you introduce your friend to the wonders of public transportation.

I wonder what Joey and Emily will do next. The best of book shouldn't take too long.

They did an AMA (yes that's my reddit account) last week and Joey told me that he's writing another novel right now and a sequel to Overqualified. I can't believe his output rate, honestly.

I am obviously late to the party. Given how he signed Meriadoc's book, I'm pretty sure I'd dig them. Is it something that is at all episodic or can you jump right in?

None of them have any relation to each other.
